Although many people felt the assassination of the Hutu President led directly to the genocide, it was really because of the years of inequality between the Hutus and Tutsis. In modern day many Tutsi survivors found it difficult to live in Rwanda where the genocide occurred, but some survivors found it much easier to forgive their perpetrator.

    During early 17th century England, Elizabeth I died and was succeeded by James VI of Scotland who inherited a mostly autonomous government at age 37 in 1603. King James developed many favourites throughout his reign with the most infamous being Thomas Overbury, due to his murder in 1613.

    Ethnic Cleansing Pain, suffering, murder, and hate are the catalysts that formulate genocide; in Rwanda, this was the case. 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the Rwandan genocide that began in 1959. Although the genocide seemed to happen out of nowhere, previous conflicts helped contribute to death of thousands of Rwandans. Ultimately, the colonization of Rwanda by Belgians, led to the separation of Hutus and Tutsis identifying them as two separate racial groups, which sparked the tribes to fight over the control of the government. Colonization of Belgium Before the Belgians arrived, the Hutus and Tutsis lived by a contract called the ubahaka.…

    Although Canadians are notoriously known for their national pride, their patriotic attitudes only remain true for the people of the Arctic, when they have resources to offer. The Canadian government does not display patriotism towards the Arctic because of our history, literature, art, music or our Canadian soul, like Mr. Harper stated; it is actually based off of the amount of resources that an area has to offer. Up until the oil in the North West Passage was available to the rest of the world, the Canadian sense of “romantic patriotism” that Stephen Harper claims to be embedded in our culture was nonexistent. It is no coincidence that after thousands of years of required funding, that only now, the Canadian government was willing to allot…
